<a name="bnajp"></a><h3>The Example JSP Document</h3>
<p><a name="indexterm-421"></a>This chapter uses the Duke&rsquo;s Bookstore application, version <tt>bookstore5</tt>, and the <tt>books</tt> application to
demonstrate how to write JSP pages in XML syntax. The JSP pages
of the <tt>bookstore5</tt> application use the JSTL XML tags (see <a href="bnakq.html">XML Tag Library</a>) to
manipulate the book data from an XML stream. The <tt>books</tt> application contains the
JSP document <tt>books.jspx</tt>, which accesses the book data from the database and converts
it into the XML stream. The <tt>bookstore5</tt> application accesses this XML stream to
get the book data.</p><p>These applications show how easy it is to generate XML data and
stream it between web applications. The <tt>books</tt> application can be considered the application hosted
by the book warehouse&rsquo;s server. The <tt>bookstore5</tt> application can be considered the application hosted
by the book retailer&rsquo;s server. In this way, the customer of the bookstore
web site sees the list of books currently available, according to the warehouse&rsquo;s
database.</p><p>The source for the Duke&rsquo;s Bookstore application is located in the <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore5/</tt> directory, which
is created when you unzip the tutorial bundle (see <a href="gfiud.html">Chapter&nbsp;2, Using the Tutorial Examples</a>).</p><p>To deploy the <tt>books</tt> application using NetBeans IDE, follow these steps:</p>
<ol><li><p>Perform all the operations described in <a href="bnaez.html">Accessing Databases from Web Applications</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>In NetBeans IDE, select File&rarr;Open Project.</p></li>
<li><p>In the Open Project dialog, navigate to:</p><pre><i>tut-install</i>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/</pre></li>
<li><p>Select the <tt>books</tt> folder.</p></li>
<li><p>Select the Open as Main Project check box and the Open Required Projects check box.</p></li>
<li><p>Click Open Project.</p></li>
<li><p>In the Projects tab, right-click the <tt>books</tt> project, and select Undeploy and Deploy.</p></li></ol>
<p>To deploy the <tt>books</tt> application using the Ant utility, follow these steps:</p>
<ol><li><p>In a terminal window, go to <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/books/</tt>.</p></li>
<li><p>Type <tt><b>ant build</b></tt>. This target will spawn any necessary compilations, copy files to the <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/books/build/</tt> directory, build a WAR file, and copy the WAR file to the <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/books/dist/</tt> directory.</p></li>
<li><p>To deploy the application, type <tt><b>ant deploy</b></tt>.</p></li></ol>
<p>To deploy and run the <tt>bookstore5</tt> application using NetBeans IDE, follow these steps:</p>
<ol><li><p>Perform all the operations described in <a href="bnaez.html">Accessing Databases from Web Applications</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>In NetBeans IDE, select File&rarr;Open Project.</p></li>
<li><p>In the Open Project dialog, navigate to:</p><pre><tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/</tt></pre></li>
<li><p>Select the <tt>bookstore5</tt> folder.</p></li>
<li><p>Select the Open as Main Project check box and the Open Required Projects check box.</p></li>
<li><p>Click Open Project.</p></li>
<li><p>In the Projects tab, right-click the <tt>bookstore5</tt> project, and select Undeploy and Deploy.</p></li>
<li><p>To run the applications, open the bookstore URL <tt>http://localhost:8080/bookstore5/books/bookstore</tt>.</p></li></ol>
<p>To deploy and run the application using Ant, follow these steps:</p>
<ol><li><p>In a terminal window, go to <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore5/</tt>.</p></li>
<li><p>Type <tt><b>ant</b></tt>. This command will spawn any necessary compilations, copy files to the <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore5/build/</tt> directory, and create a WAR file and copy it to the <tt></tt><i>tut-install</i><tt>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore5/dist/</tt> directory.</p></li>
<li><p>Start the Application Server.</p></li>
<li><p>Perform all the operations described in <a href="bnaez.html#bnafb">Creating a Data Source in the Application Server</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>To deploy the example, type <tt><b>ant deploy</b></tt>. The <tt>deploy</tt> target outputs a URL for running the application. Ignore this URL, and instead use the one shown in the next step.</p></li>
<li><p>To run the applications, open the bookstore URL <tt>http://localhost:8080/bookstore5/books/bookstore</tt>.</p></li></ol>
<p>To learn how to configure the <tt>bookstore5</tt> example, refer to the <tt>web.xml</tt> file,
which includes the following configurations:</p>
<ul><li><p>A <tt>display-name</tt> element that specifies the name that tools use to identify the application.</p></li>
<li><p>A <tt>context-param</tt> element that identifies the context path to the XML stream.</p></li>
<li><p>A <tt>context-param</tt> element that specifies the JSTL resource bundle base name.</p></li>
<li><p>A set of <tt>servlet</tt> elements that identify the JSP files in the application.</p></li>
<li><p>A set of <tt>servlet-mapping</tt> elements that identify aliases to the JSP pages identified by the <tt>servlet</tt> elements.</p></li>
<li><p>Nested inside a <tt>jsp-config</tt> element are two <tt>jsp-property-group</tt> elements, which define the preludes and coda to be included in each page. See <a href="bnair.html#bnaiu">Setting JavaBeans Component Properties</a> for more information.</p></li></ul>
<p>To learn how to configure the <tt>books</tt> example, refer to the <tt>web.xml</tt> file,
which includes the following configurations:</p>
<ul><li><p>A <tt>display-name</tt> element that specifies the name that tools use to identify the application.</p></li>
<li><p>A <tt>listener</tt> element that identifies the <tt>ContextListener</tt> class used to create and remove the database access.</p></li>
<li><p>A <tt>servlet</tt> element that identifies the JSP page.</p></li>
<li><p>Nested inside a <tt>jsp-config</tt> element is a <tt>jsp-property-group</tt> element, which identifies the JSP page as an XML document. See <a href="bnakb.html">Identifying the JSP Document to the Container</a> for more information.</p></li></ul>
